That this House welcomes the start of the Fairtrade Fortnight on 6th March with its theme `Make Fairtrade Your Habit'; acknowledges the unique significance of Fairtrade in providing disadvantaged farmers and workers with a better deal from trade and in raising awareness of trade issues amongst UK consumers and citizens; further welcomes continued growth in the awareness of Fairtrade products; notes that in 2005 the UK was the world's leading market for Fairtrade goods; further welcomes the fact that there are now 150 Fairtrade towns, cities, boroughs and villages across the UK; congratulates those towns who will achieve Fairtrade status during the fortnight; and calls on the Government to encourage actively schools, local authorities and retailers to adopt fair trade principles.

This motion has been signed by a total of 105 MPs.
